Singapore Grand Prix What to Watch
Out of all the races that have been introduced to the Formula 1 schedule in the past fifteen years or so, just two have had a significant impact and become unique.
Singapore and the US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, are the two locations.
Every one of them is unique and transcends the ordinary because of that special something.
It should come as no surprise that Singapore is now the second-most important location for business during a grand prix weekend, after Monaco. It's a location you simply must visit.
It has become one of the most sought-after races on the calendar as a result of that message.
First of all, the atmosphere is fantastic. Let's face it, business travelers are drawn to this more than the pressures of racing in oppressive humidity on one of the longest F1 tracks.
Due to its colonial background and location at the intersection of southeast Asia, Singapore is an extremely fascinating site to visit. However, holding the race at night adds another level of complexity.
The futuristic metropolitan skyline serves as the backdrop as the track winds into the heart of the city under the lights, with Chinese lanterns giving a pop of color.
For a while, the entire area appears to glitter and dazzle as the sun sets. A rich, lush tropical atmosphere descends upon the area as darkness eases the intensity of the tropical heat.
It also has a bizarre edge for those who work at the race.
Qualifying, the race, and the first track sessions at dusk all require adhering to European time. You get up at 2 p.m., finish your work early, and then go to bed at 6 a.m.
Some hotel restaurants are open all night during the race weekend, so you can eat there. However, it is preferable to go to an all-night hawkers' market, where you may enjoy the ambiance while sampling delectable, reasonably priced local cuisine from a variety of stalls.
Oh, and the song is also rather good. The Marina Bay Circuit presents a unique challenge, but it's not Spa or Suzuka.
Only Malaysia can match it as the most difficult grand prix on the calendar due to its over two-hour duration, bumps, 23 turns, and extreme humidity.
WEATHER FORECAST
The usual prediction for the Singapore Grand Prix is "hot, hot, hot," and this year is no different. According to UBIMET, the FIA's official weather service, temperatures will still be above 25 degrees Celsius even though qualifying and the race are held at night.
The track should be dry for the race because rain typically falls in Singapore in the afternoon. In actuality, all eight of the Singapore Grands Prix have been dry thus far, even with the extreme humidity.
